To all whom it may con-cern." Be it known that I, CHARLES LUTHER Boo-TON, of Chicago, in. the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and n sefiil Improvements in Magazine Plate- 1Holders; andi do hereby declarethat the follow'ii'g is a full, clear,and exact description thereof reference 'being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of refer- :o ence maraed thereon, whichform a part of this Specification. l "l This invention relates toimprovements in magazines or plate-holders for photographic eameras.-

rlhe invention consists in the matters hereinalter described, andsetfo'rth in the appended claims.

Figure l shows in perspective a view of a magazine embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 zo is a broken section taken on line 2 2 of Fig.

1 with the coverof the magazine closed. Fig. 3 is a section taken online 3 3 of Fig. 1 with the cover of the magazine closed. Fig. 4 is anelevationof the lower part of the side of the z5 magazine-case. Fig. 5is a section taken on line .5 5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a vertical sectionof the magazine,` showing the position of the same when opened for theVfirst exposure. Fig. 7 is a ser on similar to that shown in 3o Fig. 6.

A indicates a hinged li ght-proof magazinecase or inclosure within whichare located a series of plate-carriers B B, which are perma-` ncntlyconnected at. their lower edges with each other and with the front andrear walls of the nclosure by a flexible connecting-strip B", whichforms a flexible or hinged connection betweensaid parts, as the leavesand covers of a book are joined by its bnding. 4o To said plate-carrieismay be either permanently or removably attached the sensitive plates bb, with which the magazine is loaded. The magazine-case has the form ofan inclosure, of pasteboard or other suitable material, adapted to coverthe plate carriers and plates at their front and rear faces and sidovand top margins, so as to exclude light therefrom, and consists of arear wall C', provided with forwardly-extending flanges C2 C 5o C on itsside and top margins, and a front wall C5, provided with similarrearwardlycase is closed.

extending marginal flanges C, C7, and C. The flanges of the rear andfront walls meet each other when the case is closed and prefcrablyoverlap, the flanges ofthe front wall litti-ng over those of the rearwall as the flanges of a boxeover fit' over a box-body. As shown, thesaid flanges are of the same width, and the said front wall, with itslateral langes, is adapted to so clcarly it about the (langes of 6o therear wall as to exclude light when the The said magazine-case orinclosnre is without any bottom except that formed by the llexibleconnecting-strip B', which is made of leather, cloth, orother ilexiblematerial and being attached to the lower margins' of the plate-carriersand front and rear walls serves, when the case is closed, to

exclude light at the bottom of the case. In order to form a close jointbetween the ends 7o of the strip l'and the side flanges of the front andrear walls of the inclosure, strips of felt b are secured to the end ofsaid strip in such manner as to project beyond the same, and the lowermargins of the side flanges C6 75 and C8 of the front wall are providedwith similar projecting felt strips e c. When the case is closed, thestrips b' on the hinged strip B' come in contact with the lower@ ges ofthe flanges (12C4 of the rear wall and also with the 8o similar strips cc on the flanges of thefront wall, there by making close joints at thesepoints to irsure the exclusion of light from the plates. It is obviousthat by this construction a case 0r inclosure is provided having 85overlapping walls on three sides and a tlexi; ble bottom attached to therear and front wall,

but in no wise attached to the said flanges, so that the case may beopened by throwing `the front wall away from the plate-carriers to 9oexpose the latter, and the plate-carriers may be successively thrownforward away from those behind them 'to expose the several plates in thesame manner that a book is opened and its leaves turned. The walls ofthe case or inclosure will preferably be lined with black paper toexclude light..

The plate-carriers B B may be made in any suitable way to receive` andhold the plates. As herein shown, they are made of paper Gr.10 the likeand are jouicd to the flexible 0r hinged strip directly or by means ofstrips.'
